Fat Embolism Syndrome in Pediatric Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Meta-Analysis

This presentation explores the findings of a meta-analysis on Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES) in pediatric patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Through a comprehensive review of case reports and case series, we analyze the clinical presentations, diagnostic strategies, treatments, and outcomes of FES in this vulnerable population. The discussion emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, timely management, and the need for standardized treatment protocols to improve patient outcomes.
